ADF&G Annual Management Reports (Commercial Fisheries)

Location: Special Collections

Since Alaska-statehood in 1959, this regionally-based series from the Alaska Department of Fish & Game compiled data in a cumulative manner for catch, escapement, economic factors, and fishery management policies for each regional commercial fishery. 

The reports, prepared for the Board of Fisheries, were not widely distributed and ARLIS has the most complete collection in the state. The information is meant for a general audience and is often used by consultants and industry watchers to compare fisheries from one year to another.

The reports are shelved by geographic region from east to west across Alaska and by year within geographic region.
